Liverpool players Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez face injury uncertainty

Liverpool FC manager Andoni Iraola has expressed uncertainty regarding the availability of Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez for the upcoming League Cup round-of-16 match against Chelsea at Anfield.

Szoboszlai is dealing with a recurring hamstring injury that has sidelined him for several matches, including recent Premier League and Champions League fixtures. While he returned briefly against Brentford, the injury recurred during that match. Iraola noted that while he is optimistic about Florian Wirtz, the situation for Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz is more complex.

Milos Kerkez, who recently delivered a strong performance against Brighton, also faces questions regarding his role in the starting lineup as the club manages player rotation ahead of a scheduled match against Arsenal.
